About Al Kifaf
Al Kifaf is a small residential district in Bur Dubai, on the northern side of Zabeel. Sheikh Zayed Road, Sheikh Rashid Road and Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street run along its edges, and the area takes in Zabeel Park and the Dubai Frame. Its housing is recent and comes almost entirely from Wasl, which is building the mixed-use Wasl 1 development here. The district has 10 buildings with 2,997 apartments. The first were completed in 2020, and more are due through 2027. Park Views Residences at Wasl 1 and the two 1 Residences by Wasl towers are among the largest. Zabeel Park is about 100 m away, and Max Metro Station and Kalyan Silks are both within walking distance (about 400 m). The Cavendish Life Polyclinic is about 600 m away.
Al Kifaf is an apartment district of about 2,996 apartments, built from 2020 onwards. Nine buildings are complete and another one is under construction. A typical building here has about 207 homes; the tallest, Avenue Park 1, has 42 floors. Every building was built by one developer, Wasl.

Al Kifaf's first registered sales, in 2018, were at about AED 1,260 per sqft. They have risen in most years since, to AED 2,179 over the last 12 months. The steepest recent climb was in 2023, when the annual median rose 17%. Year on year the annual median has gone up 13% in 2024, up 6% in 2025 and up 1% so far in 2026. The busiest month of the last year was December 2025, with 60 sales registered. On the monthly median of every registered sale, prices are up 1.7% over the last 12 months, up 62.4% over five years and up 42.4% on the 2022 level. Rents are down 2.8% over the last 12 months, up 56.8% over five years and up 76.8% since 2021, so rents now rise more slowly than prices and gross yields are easing.
What comes next is mostly supply. The one building under construction adds about 451 homes, 15% of today's stock, with handovers in 2027; on the last 12 months' 307 sales that is about a year of demand. New homes let before they resell, so a wave of handovers tends to show in the rent line first. The figures on this page refresh monthly, so the charts above will show it as it happens.
The line is the monthly median of every sale and rental contract, smoothed over three months; a month with fewer than ten records sits between its neighbours, and the latest such months are read together. The changes compare 12-month medians: the last 12 months against the 12 before. Source: Dubai Land Department.
